The year 2020 marks the 500-year anniversary of Raphaël’s death. In this BRAFA Art Talk, Mathieu Deldicque, Cultural Heritage Curator at the Musée Condé, Domaine de Chantilly, shares the rediscovery of the largest French collection of works by Raphaël Sanzio da Urbino (1483-1520), after the one held at the Louvre.
The Condé de Chantilly Museum has three important paintings and numerous drawings by the artist in its possession,.each acquired by the greatest French collector of the 19th-century, Henri d’Orléans, the Duke of Aumale, who deeply admired Raphaël. The treasures of Chantilly keep revealing secrets. The Duke of Aumale was unaware, for example, that a third painting by the artist was hiding in his collection: it was not in the Getty collection but in Chantilly that the original Madonna of Loreto was discovered in the 1970s! The story of this revelation will be followed by an account of more recent discoveries that have been made about the paintings and drawings by Raphaël held at Chantilly.
